🔥 Fat to Fit: The Truth About Metabolism, Fasting, and Sustainable Weight Loss 🔥

In today’s Fat to Fit episode, I dive into a real conversation I had with a former LAPD buddy about his relative—a young man in his mid-20s who wants to join the military but is struggling with weight. He asked me about fasting, metabolism, and whether skipping meals really slows you down. Sound familiar?

💡 For years, we’ve been told that eating six to eight small meals a day is the key to keeping our metabolism high. The reality? That kind of constant grazing keeps insulin—our body's fat-storage hormone—elevated all day, making fat loss nearly impossible. The truth is, strategic fasting and controlling carbohydrate intake are game changers when it comes to torching body fat, boosting energy, and resetting metabolic function.

🚀 In this episode, we cover:
✅ The Metabolism Myth – Why eating all day doesn’t speed up fat loss and how fasting actually preserves muscle while shedding fat.
✅ Caloric Restriction vs. Fasting – Cutting calories without strategic fasting wrecks metabolism, causing weight regain. I explain why and how to avoid this trap.
✅ Insulin & Fat Storage – If insulin is always elevated (from constant eating), your body never taps into stored fat. Learn how to break the cycle.
✅ Ketogenic Diet vs. Fasting – Two powerful ways to shift your body into a fat-burning state: either cut carbs aggressively (<20g/day) or embrace fasting.
✅ The Hunger Myth – Hunger comes in waves. If you can ride them out, you’ll realize you don’t need to eat every few hours to thrive.

🎯 If you’ve struggled with weight loss, metabolic slowdowns, or feeling like you “gain it all back” after dieting, this episode is for you. Whether you're looking to lose fat for a military career, improved health, or just to feel better, this is the blueprint to sustainable success.

🚨 Remember: Fasting isn’t starvation. It’s giving your body time to burn the energy it already has stored. Your body is designed for this. Get leaner, get stronger, and take back control of your health.
